379 hours — source code of human intelligence
While everyone rushed to learn prompt engineering, I spent 379 hours studying the source code of human intelligence.
To understand where AI is going, I decided to dive deep into how our own intelligence was built.
You can't discuss LLMs without understanding the foundations of language theory with Chomsky and Pinker. You can't glimpse the limits of computation without revisiting Gödel's numbers, or understand recursive thinking and consciousness with Hofstadter's I Am a Strange Loop.
I spent the year moving between Strogatz's cold logic and Nietzsche's and Aristotle's moral construction. Why?
Because technology changes every week, but the principles of how we build knowledge with our biological brain remain.
True lifelong learning isn't stockpiling tutorials about tools that will be obsolete next month. It's building a base so solid about human nature and logic that no new technological wave can knock you down.
